Waec registration 2017/2018 has officially commenced

The West African Examinations council has officially commenced registrations for the 2017/2018 May/june examinations.

Schools, parents/guardian, and candidates are hereby informed that WAEC Registration 2017/2018 May/June has started. The West African Examinations Council e-Registration System is a user friendly online registration package for the West African Senior School Certificate Examination. It allows School schools in Nigeria to register their candidates online through the Internet. Meanwhile this examination is solely for candidates who are already in SS3 class.

The WAEC e-Registration service makes registration easier for the schools and also eliminates errors in registration information which are hitherto made on paper and only detected while processing the paper forms by WAEC. Such documents as Timetable and Syllabus for the examination could easily be printed or downloaded by the School Authorities.

Procedures for the WAEC Registration 2017/2018 have been issued and Schools are expected to collect the approved registration fees from all their candidates and issue one bank draft in favour of The West African Examinations Council (WAEC). This cheque is to be paid at the WAEC Zonal/Branch Office in charge of their State. The designated WAEC Finance Officer in the Zonal/Branch Office enters information regarding the payment on his computer and issued the school a scratch card or pay voucher containing information to enable the Principal/Examination Officer sign up to the e-Registration Website.

However, to make the online registration trouble-free especially for schools without Internet Service in their locality, Provisions have been made for offline registration on their standalone PCs or through Business Centers in their locality. The CD-ROM containing this offline registration facility will be given to schools along with the pay voucher upon payment.

Provisions were also made for schools without PC’s or Internet connections. This offline service is put in place for schools without PCs who could be assisted by Cyber Café or Business Center with computers and scanners/digital camera. This will enable the schools to capture registration details of their candidates and passport photographs, save the information on a CD-ROM or Flash RAM for uploading at WAEC Zonal/Branch Office in charge of their State. Each school will be given a CD-ROM containing the offline registration program, instruction manual and other WAEC Online Registration information during a training program to be organized for school principals and examination officers.
